Gasoline engine

Unleaded

For Europe

For the optimal vehicle performance, we

recommend you to use unleaded gaso-

line which complies with EN 228 and has

an octane rating of RON (Research

Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock

Index) 91 or higher.

You may use unleaded gasoline with an

octane rating of RON 91~94/AKI 87~90

but it may result in slight performance

reduction of the vehicle.

Except Europe

Your new HYUNDAI vehicle is designed

to use only unleaded fuel having an

Octane Rating of RON (Research

Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock

Index) 87 or higher.

Your new vehicle is designed to obtain

maximum performance with UNLEADED

FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust emis-

sions and spark plug fouling.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

which harm, serious bodily injury or

death could result if the warning is

ignored.

CAUTION

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

13

Introduction

Gasoline containing alcohol and

methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and

ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),

and gasoline or gasohol containing

methanol (also known as wood alcohol)

are being marketed along with or instead

of leaded gasoline.

Do not use gasohol containing more than

10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or

gasohol containing any methanol. Either

of these fuels may cause drivability prob-

lems and damage to the fuel system.

Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if

drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damage or drivability problems

may not be covered by the manufactur-

er’s warranty if they result from the use

of:

1. Gasohol containing more than 10%

ethanol.

2. Gasoline or gasohol containing

methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

Leaded (if equipped)

For some countries, your vehicle is

designed to use leaded gasoline. When

you are going to use leaded gasoline,

ask to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

whether leaded gasoline in your vehicle

is available or not.

Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is

same with unleaded one.

WARNING

• Do not "top off" after the nozzle

automatically shuts off when

refueling.

• Always check that the fuel cap is

installed securely to prevent fuel

spillage in the event of an acci-

dent.

CAUTION

NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The

use of leaded fuel is detrimental to

the catalytic converter and will

damage the engine control sys-

tem’s oxygen sensor and affect

emission control.

Never add any fuel system cleaning

agents to the fuel tank other than

what has been specified. (Consult

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

details.)

CAUTION

Never use gasohol which contains

methanol. Discontinue use of any

gasohol product which impairs dri-

vability.

Introduction

Use of MTBE

HYUNDAI recommends avoiding fuels

containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl

Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content

2.7% weight) in your vehicle.

Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may

reduce vehicle performance and produce

vapor lock or hard starting.

Do not use methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-

hol) should not be used in your vehicle.

This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-

formance and damage components of

the fuel system.

Fuel Additives

HYUNDAI recommends that you use

good quality gasoline that meets Europe

Fuel standards (EN228) or equivalents.

For customers who do not use good

quality gasoline including fuel additives

regularly, and have problems starting or

the engine does not run smoothly, one

bottle of additives added to the fuel tank

at every 15,000km (for Europe)/5,000km

(except Europe). Additives are available

from your authorized HYUNDAI dealer

along with information on how to use

them.

Operation in foreign countries

If you are going to drive your vehicle in

another country, be sure to:

• Observe all regulations regarding reg-

istration and insurance.

• Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-

able.

No special break-in period is needed. By

following a few simple precautions for the

first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to

the performance, economy and life of

your vehicle.

• Do not race the engine.

• While driving, keep your engine speed

(rpm, or revolutions per minute)

between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.

• Do not maintain a single speed for long

periods of time, either fast or slow.

Varying engine speed is needed to

properly break-in the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emergen-

cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-

erly.

• Don't let the engine idle longer than 3

minutes at one time.

• Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000

km (1,200 miles) of operation.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS

CAUTION

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty

may not cover damage to the fuel

system and any performance prob-

lems that are caused by the use of

fuels containing methanol or fuels

containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary

Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
